Napster news, widely reported:  Trial court judge Marilyn Patel agreed
to a 30-day delay in issuing her ruling on the labels' request for a 
summary judgement against Napster.  It is believed the labels and Napster
are close to a settlement which would clear the way for the for-pay 
Napster model to open for business.
